Wolves News and Form

If VAR wasn’t around this season in the Premier League than Wolves would have three points in the bag. They hit the back of the net out at Leicester last weekend but then the strike was ruled out after a long delay because of an accidental handball. So they have to move on from that and just be happy with their point and a clean sheet away from home at the very least. Last season Wolves took a 2-1 home win over United in both the Premier League and the FA Cup. Can they make it three in a row against them?

Wolves do look a good side and they have had plenty of matches already because of playing in the UEFA Europa League qualifying rounds. So match sharpness is not a problem for them. At Molineux last season in the top flight Wolves took a W10 D4 L5 record. They earned a very good W5 D2 L2 record at home against the other top ten finishers, the two losses happening against Liverpool and Spurs. So they do know how to handle themselves. Just 37% of league games at Molineux last season returned at over 2.5 goals.

Manchester United News and Form

The Red Devils romped to a 4-0 home win over Chelsea in their opening game of the new season. That was after looking second best for most of the first half. Anyway, this game is not likely to be anywhere near as open as that one was. There was little defensive output from either team on the day, but the Red Devils are likely going to have to be a lot more patient against a very well organised Wolves. Because of that, it should make for a really intriguing game.

Last season United collected a W9 D3 L7 record on their travels and their away form did collapse at the end of the campaign. United lost three of their last four away games (D1) and one of those was at Wolves. The Red Devils will be happy their attack did deliver against Chelsea, but the Blues were pretty much non-existent defensively. Marcus Rashford got a brace last weekend and is the 7/4 anytime goalscorer favourite for this fixture* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on August 15th, 2019 at 8:15 p.m.). This may well be their first stern test of the new campaign.

Who will win – Wolves v Manchester United Predictions

Wolves are more than capable of posing the Red Devils some problems in this one. They may well get to dominate the midfield area and they are not going to be as defensively slack as Chelsea were against United last weekend. The draw in the match outright looks a pretty solid option.
